X—Her Purification
Here standeth Purity and Light
As the Maid-Mother moulded,
And in her arms the Infinite,
Her First-born Son, enfolded.
As the Maid-Mother moulded,
And in her arms the Infinite,
Her First-born Son, enfolded.
Oh, death to thee for ever, pride,
Who hadst God's way prevented;
When Purity is purified,
And God to God presented.
Who hadst God's way prevented;
When Purity is purified,
And God to God presented.
For Purity will lowly bow
To Law's purification;
And God to God be offered now,
The perfect, one oblation.
To Law's purification;
And God to God be offered now,
The perfect, one oblation.
